2008 Honda Civic 2.0L Petrol · RF08 VSY

The vehicle is in a state of poor roadworthiness with a worsening trend in mechanical neglect. The most recent test on May 6, 2025, resulted in a failure across multiple safety-critical systems, including the ABS and SRS modules, alongside a seriously weakened offside rear brake disc. This represents a significant decline from the April 2024 test where the brakes were merely advisory. The recurring failure of the parking brake system suggests that the previous owner has only addressed the bare minimum to pass tests rather than performing preventative maintenance. Mileage data is sparse but indicates a consistent pattern of use. The vehicle covered 7,815 miles between April 2022 and April 2023, followed by 10,038 miles in the following year to reach 119,017 miles by April 2024. This reflects an average usage of approximately 9,000 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. However, the lack of a mileage reading for the May 2025 test makes it impossible to determine the current distance or the rate of wear on current components. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking and suspension components. The tester has repeatedly flagged offside rear brake issues, from pitting in 2022 and 2024 to binding in 2023, which has now progressed to structural thinning. The suspension history shows recurring play in ball joints and anti-roll bar linkages from 2024, indicating the front end is tired. The active ABS and SRS warning lamps noted in the latest record require a professional diagnostic scan, as these electronic faults can lead to expensive repairs if the underlying modules or sensors are damaged.
